where are the food items for the hungry guy at the bathroom?

[Toxic Coffee]

I only found the pickle jar and the sandwich

The pickle jar isn't for the hungry guy, it's for a different quest entirely. You don't want to give it to him or it'll brick the other quest. You only find the sandwich in the subway. The hungry guy shows up later. You get one food item for him per level for him and one food item for the other quest. You'll know what they are, they're fairly obvious.

It's so stupid that you can screw up the other quest that you HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN YET that early on. You're trying to get a feel for everything and the game happily screws you over for not being clairvoyant.

sure, an error that any player could fix on his next playthrough, but, will I like the game enough to do a second playthrough? will this "malicious" designl repeat on the next levels?

bit disappointed over this, might redo my run or just ♥♥♥♥ it and continue without this quest item.

You do get a hint that the pickle jar isn't something the shadow wants, since the shadow lists three things, and the pickles don't really fit the "frozen" and "dehydrated" criteria once you've fulfilled the shadow's request for something old (AKA the moldy sandwich).

It is a bit tricky though since the quest where you hand the pickles over comes after you beat the subway level, so I can see why people might get tripped up.

Hi Toxic Coffee

There are two characters in the game, each looking for a few food items. They are minor NPCs and not linked to the main storyline or the major side stories and endings of the game.

In total it's about 10 minutes of the game. There are a couple of achievements related to it and you can get a little extra currency from giving them their preferred items (it's not the main way to earn currency in the game). I wouldn't recommend restarting a playthrough for this content.

Regarding the rest of the game - there is a choice aspect to the main side stories where you can impact the relationships of other characters. These aren't meant to be right or wrong decisions, but there are different reactions from the characters depending on the choices made and they will impact the endings available.

Thank you

Tom

Thanks for the quick answer and for the information, good to know that its not worth to redo a playthrough for it.
Thanks again and have a nice day

The ghost reacts with disgust when you feed him something he doesn't want so clearly the item isn't intended for him.

I love the game but i'm kinda miffed i gave one wrong food item early on in the game since
the hotel kitchen cook says he wont free the baker girl unless he gets all 3 ingredients he wants.

this right here... yeah, it sucks so bad. I wanted to restart after this, I was so mad. Made me almost give the game a negative review (just to be petty) because like damn lolol

Hey everyone, we've been seeing several people frustrated by this.

We agree it's not fun to be able to give an item requested by the chef away before you've met him and heard the request. It's certainly wasn't our intention to trick people with this.

We're going to move the jar of pickles to be located after you've had a chance to meet the chef for the first time.

Thanks

Tom

Damn.. I'm half considering restarting also.

I wonder if this mean those of us who already screwed up can retroactively get a second jar if the update drops soon :P

[tom]

Hi Stoibs, I would still recommend that it is not worth restarting over this.

It doesn't change the main story, the major side stories or which of the endings you would have available.

It is a small part of the game. If you don't give the chef all of his requested items, you will still get to see something unique as a result that players who do give the items don't see. There is content both ways for players to experience here as with most interactions in the game.

We didn't intend for these particular interactions to be a major decision in the game, just different outcomes. At the same time, we didn't intend to frustrate people which is why we decided to make the change.

By moving the item we hope to give players access to more information before using it. We would love if people still experiment and enjoy seeing the different reactions/result depending on how the items are used.

I'm not sure if I would be able to retroactively add a second jar in, but I will have a look when I get to this. Please note this is a lower priority for me than some of the bugs that need fixing so it likely won't be adjusted in the next few days.

Thank you

Tom

Hehe fair enough.
I might go for a second playthrough once I'm done anyway since I already missed some stuff according to my Chapter 1 score.

hi, if you are taking feedbacks and going in to make updates, could you PLZ add a 'skip button' to some scenes. I would love to replay over and over, but i don't want to sit through all the dialogue. Just skip and go on to get the achievments. Plz plz!
